You may have spent a long time adapting to survive; managing anxiety, people-pleasing, dissociation, perfectionism, shame, or relationships that leave you feeling unseen. Maybe you’re carrying trauma that still lives in your body, or you’re trying to understand yourself more deeply outside the expectations you grew up with. Therapy can be a place to untangle those stories and reconnect with who you actually are. Let’s explore the patterns that helped you survive in the past and move towards the future you want.
My approach blends trauma-informed and evidence based therapies (such as EMDR) with existential exploration, curiosity, and creativity. I work especially well with LGBTQ+ adults, creatives, highly sensitive people, and those navigating complex trauma, identity exploration, burnout, shame, or major life transitions.
Therapy doesn’t require you to have everything figured out before you begin. The first step is to reach out for a free 15-minute phone call to explore whether working together feels like a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!

Elliana moves fluidly between the art and science of therapy without losing either. They hold complexity with skill and grace. Elliana is able to sit with ambiguity in ways that feel both grounded and deeply informed. I recommend them without hesitation.
